In the last few months, many media reporters have spilled ink over the revival of the email newsletter. David Carr gave newsletters the nod in June. Digiday recently devoted an article to unpacking four approaches to the medium. And Poynter did a story that explained how Time has gotten so many people to open its daily newsletter, “The Brief.”
But with a growing number of newsletters delivering news about the news, it can be hard to figure out which are worth reading. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the best roundups you’ll find online. Each attempts to condense the news of the day into an easy-to-read digest, but they all offer a slightly different take given the author’s point of view:
- American Press Institute’s Need to Know newsletter
- Capital New York Media Pro
- Current
- Gorkana media alerts
- Images and Voices of Hope newsletter
- Jim Romenesko
- MediaREDEF
- Muck Rack Daily
- NiemanLab
- PBS MediaShift’s newsletters
- Pew Research Center’s Daily Briefing
- Politico Playbook
- Poynter’s morning newsletter
- The Local Fix
- The Revolving Door, from Mediabistro
- Today in Tabs
- Up, Down, All Around
- Wooden Horse News
